She listens without judgement and gives clear feedback. Sessions focus on practical steps and building skills to manage strong emotions and daily pressures.
Background and approach
Her work draws from multiple methods, including client-centered care, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior tools, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That mix lets her tailor sessions to each person’s needs, using thought work, emotional regulation skills, and brief exercises when useful. Lauren aims to be part of a client’s support network by offering perspective, empathy, and encouragement.
She often helps clients break big problems into smaller, manageable steps and practice new ways of coping between sessions. Lauren has four years of clinical experience and received her degrees from Hofstra University. As an LMHC she practices in New York and conducts sessions in English.
People who choose Lauren can expect clear communication, goal-oriented sessions, and an emphasis on skills they can use outside of therapy.
How Lauren’s approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective. It helps people feel heard and encourages them to set their own goals for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical tools to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, useful when anger, intense mood swings, or relationship conflicts arise.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lauren collaborates with each person to decide which methods best match their goals and day-to-day needs. She will adjust tools and pacing as progress is made so therapy stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing reflection, and flexible support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain continuity when life gets hectic.
